Antarctica comes to Orlando

Billed as SeaWorld Orlando’s biggest-ever attraction expansion, Antarctica – Empire of the Penguin will open in spring 2013 at this popular Florida marine park.

Guests will be surrounded by the sights, sounds and encounters found in this frozen place as they embark on a one-of-a-kind ride and family adventure through the eyes of a penguin. During the ride they will enjoy real life animal encounters combined with state-of-the-art interactive ride technologies.

But before Antarctica arrives in Orlando, SeaWorld will welcome TurtleTrek in 2012. Here guests will visit two massive naturalistic animal habitats before making their way into a domed theatre where they will experience a realistic 3D movie all around them.

At Discovery Cove, Sea World’s adjacent swim-with-dolphins resort, a new limited-admission, all-inclusive tropical resort will open next spring. Guests will be able to swim with dolphins, hand-feed tropical birds, snorkel among thousands of colourful fish and relax on pristine artificial beaches.
